Sadly, we are starting to feel the end of the trip approaching. We had our last day of class today, discussing the role of women and their rights in our respective countries. It is amazing to see how lucky I am to be a woman who lives in America, compared to the rights of women … Continue reading Do As The Romans Do by Mikayla Bridges →

Today the excitement picked back up. It was our last day of class in the class room. We didn’t have anything planned for the early afternoon so after class and lunch we were able to go out into town and shop around for a few hours. It was kind of disappointing because around ninety eight … Continue reading On the sixth day of Italy~ by Benjamin Cheaney →

In today’s class, we talked about embassies and their purposes, including their pros and cons. Seen in the fact I slept through five alarms this morning, I was extremely tired today and fell into a deep sleep during the 10 minute break between classes. After being shaken awake, we began our UN discussion on drug … Continue reading Another Great Day!! by Mikayla Bridges →

Especially since the government is the main leader behind genocides. It was an afternoon full of education. We rode the public bus to the Jewish Ghettos. The bus ride was interesting because … Continue reading Different Religions by Cassidy Slockett →

Today we went to see the Coliseum and the other ruins around it. It’s so hard to explain what it is like in the Coliseum, but for starters it was defiantly smaller than most pictures make it out to be. Not in a bad way but in a “huh I wonder how they did navel … Continue reading Day two: where did all my pictures run off to? by Christian Bean →

Today was so exciting. We’ve only been here for two days but it has felt so much longer. We went to the Colosseum today after lunch I was surprised because you came out of the metro and it was right there, immediately in your face, nothing else blocking your view. You’d imagine it to be … Continue reading On the second day of Italy~ by Benjamin Cheaney →

Regardless of how you feel about the subject as a scientific and political concept, you could not prove it by the incredible weather we are having here! Our walks from the hotel to the … Continue reading Gelato Onslaught!!!!! by John Hesting →
